I call a http request to GraphAPI and return a list of the security groups a user is a member off. I only need to select the group type and the group ID.

The output is this:

{
"body": {
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#directoryObjects(groupTypes,id)",
"value": [
{
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group",
"groupTypes": [
"DynamicMembership"
],
"id": "badc0e9e-d736-4534-b2c2-7aed3280a035"
},
{
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group",
"groupTypes": [
"Unified"
],
"id": "14a7c19e-db29-4e5c-82ec-657686b5f27d"
},
{
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group",
"groupTypes": [
"Unified"
],
"id": "1b8d728a-bf51-4ddd-b167-9e945f734d77"
}
]
}
}

If I PARSE the output on body, I can return the ID as a string in a compose activity. What throws me is groupTypes returns in a single array

[

"DynamicMembership"

]

How do I go about retrieving the string DynamicMembership please?

Nothing is ever trivial when it comes to flow...

So you're only asking how to get the string out of that last thing you posted?

variables('arrGroup')[0]

(Where variables('arrGroup') is whatever is holding your single item there.)

The [0] just says "take the thing that's at an index of 0 in this array."

You could also use first(variables('arrGroup'))

Whatever floats your boat.

Still doesn't work 100%, only the first ([0]) is being returned.
Maybe I'll expand the question and ask, how do I parse the following to get the ID and the GroupType only.

{ "body": { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#directoryObjects(groupTypes,id)", "value": [ { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group", "groupTypes": [ "DynamicMembership" ], "id": "badc0e9e-d736-4534-b2c2-7aed3280a035" }, { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group", "groupTypes": [ "Unified" ], "id": "14a7c19e-db29-4e5c-82ec-657686b5f27d" }, { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.group", "groupTypes": [ "Unified" ], "id": "1b8d728a-bf51-4ddd-b167-9e945f734d77" } ] } }
